Mother in Arabic أَمَّاهُ – Nostalgic and Cinematic Versions | Songs created with Suno (my lyrics, my voice)
16 August 2026

## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS

I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.

Written in 2010, Mother is a tribute to women whose love, courage and sacrifice endure despite illness, violence and war. Dedicated to the countless women whose strength too often remains unseen.

Loose translation of my lyrics into English:
My beloved aunt, light of Afghanistan,
You gave him life and raised him to be a man,
Yet this is how time has treated you—
leaving you no place to call your own.

You endured such pain and battled cancer,
Your courage standing as a testament;
He showed no regard neither for your loyalty nor the faith you held,
and stripped all peace and comfort from your life.

My noble sister, silenced and trapped in Pakistan,
He took you when your beauty was radiant;
He struck you down and stole your sense of safety,
leaving you now confined within a prison.

Mother, he took the years and vitality of your life,
repaying your tenderness with hatred;
He never once acknowledged the debt he owed you—
To you, I present my greetings; to you, I present my offering.

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Melismatic vocal ornamentation]
[Verse]

حَبِيبَتِي يَا خَالَهْ يَا نُورَ الْأَفْغَانْ
 أَنْجَبْتِهِ وَ جَعَلْتِ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانْ
 وَ هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بِكِ الزَّمَانْ
 وَ بِالْفِعْلِ مَا تَرَكَ لَكِ مَكَانْ

[Melismatic vocal ornamentation]
[Verse]

تَحَمَّلْتِ الْأَوْجَاعْ كَافَحْتِ السَّرَطَانْ
 وَ كَمْ كَانَ لِشَجَاعَتُكِ مِنْ بُرْهَانْ
 وَ مَا إِعْتَبَرَ الْوَفَاءْ مَا لَكِ مِنْ إِيمَانْ
 وَ نَزَعَ مِنْ حَيَاتِكِ أَيَّ إِطْمِئْنَانْ

[Melismatic vocal ornamentation]
[Verse]

أُخْتِي الْكَرِيمَهْ الْمَكْبُوتَهْ فِي الْبَاكِسْتَانْ
 أَخَذَكِ وَ كَانَ جَمَالُكِ فَتَّانْ
 ضَرَبَكِ وَ نَزَعَ الْإِحْسَاسْ بِالْأمَانْ
 وَ هَا أَنْتِ الْآنَ فِي سِجْنٍ مِنَ الْأَسْجَانْ 

[Melismatic vocal ornamentation]
[Verse]

أُمَّاهُ أَخَذَ مِنْكِ الْعُمْرَ وَالْأَسْنَانْ
 بَادَلَكِ حِقْدًا مَا أَعْطَيْتِهِ مِنْ حَنَانْ
 وَ مَا أَحَسَّ يَوْمًا بِأَنَّهُ مِدْيَانْ
 لَكِ مِنِّي تَحِيَّهْ لَكِ مِنِّي قُرْبَانْ
